Just put a humidifier where you do your scans, run it only when you plan to handle your pictures.. if you are worried about the humidity affecting your stored negs, then allow them to dry before storing again. jimhayes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I do live >in a dry climate, but in a rural are

JASC hasn't taken compression/decompression of 48-bit images seriously because PSP can't work with them. If you do load a 48-bit image you can only save it as 24-bit. For 'serious' users (which doesn't include me) this is a bad drawback, and means you're stuck with Photoshop or similar. I used to
